LEGISLATION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY MAINLY COVERING WASTE MANAGEMENT

The Guidance on Waste ManagementPreparation based on the requirements of the 2008 WFDhttp://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/plans/pdf/2012_guidance_note.pdf

Guidance document on the WFDINTERPRETATION not legally binding http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/framework/pdf/guidance_doc.pdf

WASTE HIERARCHY …

Waste Hierarchy – priority order in waste prevention, management legislation and policy:

a) prevention;

b) preparing for re-use;

c) recycling;

d) energy recovery

e) disposal.

12

END-OF-WASTE STATUS Directive 2008/98/EC on waste

Article 3: waste should become non-waste if:

(a) the substance or object is commonly used for specific purposes;

(b) a market or demand exists for such a substance or object;

(c) the substance or object fulfils the technical requirements for the specific purposes and meets the existing legislation and standards applicable to products; and

(d) the use of the substance or object will not lead to overall adverse environmental or human health impacts.

13

EU BY-PRODUCTSDirective 2008/98/EC on waste

Article 5: waste is not produced in the process if:

(a) further use of the substance or object is certain;

(b) the substance or object can be used directly without any further processing other than normal industrial practice;

(c) the substance or object is produced as an integral part of a production process; and

(d) further use is lawful, i.e. the substance or object fulfils all relevant product, environmental and health protection requirements for the specific use and will not lead to overall adverse environmental or human health impacts.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

OFTHE CZECH REPUBLIC

15

PREPARATION OF CZ WMP

Update WMP CR for the next 10-year period

Management tool for WM and implement long-term WM strategies

Obligations towards the EU based on the EC Guidance Note (June 2012)

Framework - policy environment, raw materials, energy policy, agricultural policy

16

NEW NATIONAL WMP 2014 – 20??

Priority waste streams

Principles of networking of waste treatment facilities

Principles for efficient cross-border transport, import and export of waste

General policy of waste management – State Energy Conception, Materials and Secondary Raw Policy, Action Plan for Biomass

Set up new priorities, aims and measures

17

Priorities:- The prevention and reduction of waste- Maximum recovery of waste/non-waste- A fundamental decrees of landfilling- Management solution of BioDMSW and other biowaste- Optimization of all activities in WM- Ensuring long-term stability and sustainability of WM in regions and in the CZ

NEW NATIONAL WMP 2014 – 20?? (2)

18

4 Strategic Aims:

1.Reducing specific waste production independent of the level of economic growth2.Minimize the adverse effects of the generation and management of waste on people, health, environment3.Sustainable development of society and move towards a European recycling society4.Reducing the use of primary sources with a high level of use of existing resources

NEW NATIONAL WMP 2014 – 20?? (3)

19

REGIONAL WMP

Prepared by the Region

Must be in line with National WM

More detailes and exact system

Announced by the Decree of the Region

10 years period, revised as necessary

Public and Private welcomed to help and comment on

Yearly evaluation, indicators of WM evaluated

Publicly available

Send to MoENV

20

WMP OF MUNICIPALITIES

Municipalities or Union of Municipalities with> 40 000 citizens

WMP of MUNI in line with Regional WMP

5 years WMP MUNI

Goals Measures

Details of WM are set in Municipal Decree within the administrative jurisdiction of MUNI

21

PRIORITIES OF MUNICIPALITIES

Waste prevention

Separate collection and subsequent recycling

Use of materially usable components MSW

BioWaste ensure waste collection, final use of waste as compost / products

Support home-composting

Energy recovery of MSW

22

REGIONAL SOLUTIONOF WM SYSTEM

Optimize WM activities while respecting economic, environmental and social requirements

The choice to replace individual solutions shattered common solution in the OH region (pressure agents)

AIMs:

1.Economic efficiency and sustainability

2.ENV better and friendly and

3.Stable

WASTE PREVENTION PROGRAMMES

INTHE CZECH REPUBLIC

24

WASTE PREVENTION GUIDANCE

Handbook clarifies the main concepts related to waste prevention, suggesting a framework to develop WPP

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/prevention/index.htm

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/prevention/pdf/Waste%20prevention%20guidelines.pdf

GUIDANCE IS NOT LEGALLY BINDING

BUT European Commission´s Intention is to Evaluate and Assess WPP in 2014

25

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WHEN PREPARING WPP…

• The consensus of parties/stakeholders involved

• Short-, Middle-, Long-term Targets

• Saving sources, better production approach, life-cycle, clever behaviour = integrated management

NOT ONLY dealing with WASTE

• Stabilize the production of waste and than gradually decrease in period 5 – 20 years towards ZERO

26

RANGE OF APPLICATION OF WPP

Waste Management – Economy – Material Flow – Production

LCA

Sector of Waste – Mining – Industry – Packaging – Designers – COMPLEX

State – Municipality – Private Companies

CITIZENS

All Branches of Industry and Economy are parts of WPP

27

HOW TO PREPARE WPP

Create a TEAM

Gathering knowledge base  

Set priority

Define Aims and Targets !NOT MANY!

Indicators – to be measurable and good to evaluate

Selection and Combination for the strong potential to reduce impact on the Environment

PROBLEM:

- need for money

- economic demands

28

PRIORITY „WASTE“ STREAMS

May be specific in Member States

EC Guidance gives examples:

Biodegradable Waste (incl. prevention of food waste and support to home-composting)

Paper Waste

Packaging Waste

Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Hazardous Waste

29

CZECH PREPARATION OF WPP

Identifying possible flows of product / waste (especially where it is set up a system for collectingand thus to measure the condition)

Household Waste

Biodegradable Waste

Food Waste

End-of-life Waste Streams – packaging, WEEE, batteries, ELVs

Construction &Demolition Waste

Textile

30

Stakeholders/Interested Parties:

State administration: Ministry of Industry&Trade, ENV, Finance, Agriculture, Transport

GOs/NGOs/Chamber of Commerce, Association of Trade and Transport, Association of Municipalities, State ENV Fund, Acreditation and Certificate Institutes,

Private Sector: Shopping Malls and Chains, Producers of Packaging and whatever, companies dealing with waste ...

CZECH PREPARATION OF WPP (2)

31

To define Measures and prepare WPP means:COLLECT ALL EXISTING Docs, Strategies, Studies

Life Cycle Thinking & Assessment, EPR

EMAS, ISO XXXX, Clean Production, Voluntary agreements, Eco-design

Re-Use, reparation, second-hand, charity

!!!Awareness, Education, Campaign, Information!!!
